JOYCE MEYER DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR JANUARY 22, 2023 (TAKING THE TIME FOR GRATITUDE)
TOPIC: TAKING THE TIME FOR GRATITUDE
SCRIPTURE: — Ephesians 5:20 (AMPC)
At all times and for everything giving thanks in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God the Father.
MESSAGE
Throughout the Bible, we see people celebrating progress and victory in a variety of ways.
One of those ways was to specifically take the time to give an offering to God and to thank Him.
Noah did it. Abraham did it. And we can do it too.
We would quickly add a lot of celebration time to our lives if we would take the time to give thanks when God does amazing things for us.
An attitude of gratitude shows a lot about the character of a person.
It keeps God first, knowing that He is the source of every blessing we receive. Gratitude is never about feeling entitled—it’s an attitude that says, “I know I don’t deserve God’s goodness, but I am sure grateful for it.”
Father, I am thankful that You have blessed me with so many good things in my life. Today, I take time to meditate on Your goodness and thank You for Your blessings.
